how to make php to work with mysql (php installed with apt-get, (no mysql support)

I've just found this site, and it seems to be really great!
I'm using your "The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1)" howto, and I've realized running the phpinfo () script that php was compile without mysql support. I need mysql support in php, because most php scripts especially login related use mysql .
